Hello Dennis:

Your info is very sketchy. It suggests that Daniel and Elizabeth were born in the 1800-1820 era. Irish rcds for this era are very iffy. Many/most parishes weren't keeping rcds, or they haven't survived. It would help greatly if you knew whether the pair married in Ireland.

I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.

Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.

Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.

Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).

For Dan(iel) Fitzpatrick B 1800-1820, somewhere in Ireland, with the father's forename unknown, I found 9 rcds: 1806 Kildare, 1806 Down, 1807 Wicklow, 1811 Cork, 1813 Tipperary, 1817 Meath, 1818 Wicklow, 1819 Cork, and 1820 Kildare.

For Elizabeth Molroony B ditto, I found 0 rcds. The earliest is for 1831, Co. Kilkenny. This seems far too late for your imputed timeline.

For Elizabeth Molroony M 1820-1840, somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1830, Co. Kilkenny, Ballycallan RC parish.

For Dan(iel) Fitzpatric, M Co. Kilkenny, I found 2 rcds: 1830 Kilkenny, and 1839 Kilkenny. The 1830 rcd was in Killmacow RC parish. This is a NO match. Either the rcds for this event didn't survive, haven't been digitized, or they married elsewhere.

Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
